Back from the dead

I was SO sick yesterday I was dead.

I had the kids bring my computer up to me so I could look up my boss' number and call in.

I only got out of bed once until around 8pm when I ventured downstairs (I HATE OUR BED and it was KILLING my back). I was starting to think I had that disease where your brain swells and your spine hurts as I lay on my back on the couch. I lay there long enough to eat an ice cream sandwich, the only thing I had to eat all day, and then went back to bed.

This morning, I had a pulse again. I still felt pretty awful- but I didn't want to miss more work, so after crawling into the school for a meeting there, I crawled into the office.

Tonight, I really feel bad again - funny how going to work takes it out of you - but I can't lie down or I cough uncontrollably.
